On 10th, 17th and 18th December 2011, winegrowers and other producers of regional specialties will be on hand to share their expertise and their produce. Tasting sessions, oenology lessons, culinary demonstrations, tips for finding the right wines to match those Christmas flavours… The first Saturday will be devoted entirely to visit and cooking classes.

Location Clairet gets its name from the English claret, which meant a young and clear wine produced in the Bordelais wine region. In the middle of each May, on Quinsac village square, a charming little village near Bordeaux. Atmosphere: Unmissable date on the calendar for more than 50 years, the Clairet festival pays homage to this traditional wine in between red and rosé that is aromatic and fruity. Producers will have their own stands offering you the chance to taste a glass of clairet on Quinsac village square. At lunchtime, head to the " Jean qui rit et Jean qui pleure" fountain where the wine flows freely! Finally do not miss the farmer’s meal or the parade of old cars.
